About Nyema Harmon
I am a PhD chemist with over 10 years of experience in small-molecule development, process transfer, and fine chemical manufacturing. My work focuses on transforming complex chemistry into reliable, scalable processes that withstand production cGMP and ISO environments. Throughout the years, I have developed and scaled functional and photoactive small molecules, often involving highly conjugated structures and sensitive reaction conditions. I collaborate closely with QA, engineering, and EHS to validate documentation, strengthen workflows, and eliminate hazards when feasible. I enjoy structured problem-solving, improving process safety, and refining specifications to ensure materials perform consistently from bench to manufacturing.
Experience
Scientist Iii
Nov 2022 — Present · OR, US
Synthetic chemistry focused on synthesizing commercial photoactive compounds and highly conjugated fluorescence-based reagents for molecular labeling in drug discovery and cell analysis. Efforts enhanced reaction efficiency, eliminated hazardous reagents, and improved safety practices while promoting collaboration between manufacturing and R&D teams within Thermo Fisher’s biosciences operations.
